Artists Resale Right
Living artists and the descendants of artists deceased within the last 70 years are entitled to receive a resale royalty each time their work is sold.
The charge applies to the sale of original works of art made via transactions conducted by both dealers and auctioneers.

ATG letter: Artist’s Resale Right is harming the secondary market at lower levels
27 February 2023The majority of art dealers in the secondary market probably agree with Jeremy Taylor’s views on the Artist’s Resale Right (Letters, ATG No 2579) and had hoped that the Ivor Braka case (News, ATG No 2581) would be the start of a conversation.
![Ivor Braka](/media/89176/ivor-braka.jpg?rxy=0.52133580705009275,0.24752475247524752&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=133213721880000000)

ATG letter: Artist’s Resale Right has already done the damage

![img_74-2.jpg](/media/79674/img_74-2.jpg?rxy=0.26862302483069977,0.71621621621621623&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=132959621120000000)
ATG letter: Artist's Resale Right is big factor behind the UK's decline
02 May 2022Your report that the UK’s share of the global art market has declined blames VAT and Brexit for this (ATG No 2537), but fails to mention the effect of Artist's Resale Right which is probably the real reason for the current decline.
![img_42-1.jpg](/media/78576/img_42-1.jpg?rxy=0.68646864686468645,0.382089552238806&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=132935393630000000)
ATG letter: Time to free up the British art market from ARR
04 April 2022I’d like to lend my support to Ivor Braka in his brave and principled decision to fight the parasitic bureaucracies of the ARR (front page, ATG No 2536).
![Ivor Braka](/media/78203/ivor-braka.jpg?rxy=0.49530516431924881,0.2608695652173913&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=132924137740000000)

Euro will remain the currency for Artist’s Resale Right, says UK government
01 March 2021The UK government has confirmed to ATG that it has “no plans to make changes to either the rates of Artist’s Resale Right that are applied or how the levy operates” following the post-Brexit trade deal agreed with the EU.
![img_47-3.jpg](/media/63775/img_47-3.jpg?rxy=0.67567567567567566,0.3241167434715822&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=132572492390000000)
ATG letter: An artist’s royalty payment is nothing like a musician’s
08 February 2021MADAM – I do not see the controversy around ARR within the art market going away as long as it is in existence – because its existence is so peculiar.
![2476NE01a brexit.jpg](/media/63187/2476ne01a-brexit.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=132554373110000000)

11 January 2021MADAM – When ARR was originally introduced we were told that since the UK was in the Common Market, we had to follow their rules.
ATG letter: When is a sale not a sale?
14 October 2019MADAM – It’s good to see the Irish applying ARR as it was intended ie the seller pays and no charge on estate sales (ATG No 2409).
Artist's Resale Right: It’s so much simpler in Ireland
16 September 2019Further to our article in this section in last week’s issue about who pays Artist’s Resale Right and how it applies to sales in the UK where the seller is an artist’s estate, ATG contacted Ireland’s collecting body The Irish Visual Artists Rights Organisation (IVARO) to clarify how this is dealt with in the Republic.
ATG letter: When I add value, it costs me more
16 September 2019MADAM – Last year I bought a basket-case of a canvas from an artist’s estate for £400. I then spent many hundreds of pounds on a new support, re-stretching, cleaning and re-framing and eventually sold it for a profit.

ATG letter: Your ARR review missed out exemption at auctions
26 August 2019MADAM – What wasn’t mentioned in your review of Artist’s Resale Right (ARR) in ATG No 2404 is that the ‘first sale’ exemption also applies to auction houses, so any lots from a studio sale which make over €1000 are exempt from ARR.
![img_24-1.jpg](/media/45750/img_24-1.jpg?anchor=center&mode=crop&width=125&height=125&rnd=132099076620000000)
